SIN five years from now this section OF
Texas will be equal TO Kentucky for

a gentleman just back from the Indian
Territory, where he has q good many cat
tie, said yesterday; sin my opinion, the
men who have made contracts and paid
their lease money for pasture privileges in
the Territory, need have no fears but
their cattle Will be summarily driven out,
Notwithstanding TUmOTs to the contrary.
The free graZiers have cause to dread
Secretary Lamar, and VIII have to go
doubtless, but the first mentioned are
safe, think. it may be that no new leases
will be allowed, but the government will
hardly resort TO radical measures with
stockmen who have paid their money"

Medium pulled woods are sold up cleau-
er than in many years, especially and
sorts, and prices consequently favor the
seller.
